I'm a happy and healthy married man, with a professional position and a fondness to travel and understand the huge world I live in. I've started traveling more in recent years, now that my parenting obligations are done and my mortgage is paid off (nice place to be!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for different opportunities to travel, particularly to be able to travel slowly, and to meet new friends, compare cultures and experiences, and be a part of helping the world understand each other. This may be as good a tool as any. Up until now I've used Airbnb, which works very well for me.
